BERLIN, July "A move will be at
tempted in the direction of abolishing the
protectionist system. The advantage Of
free trade is found in the Hungarian COM
merce returns which show that three
fourths of the total exports last year went
to Austria, where there was no customs
barrier.
1t Is evident that the accession of the
Rouvier Cabinet has failed to fulfil the ex-
pectations of improved relations between
France and Germany.
PROSECUTIONS IN FRANCE.
French persecution of foreigners is again
a subject of comment by the German press.
The North German Gazette reprints an
article from the National Zeitung, from
which the following is an abstract; What
will seemingly justify the European gov
ernments in refusing to enter the Paris
exhibition is the persecution of foreigners
not only beTindllS, DuU Une Oef1nhn speaking
Swiss and Austrians. Even Englishmen ara
the objects of rude and incessant attacks by
the French press and III numerous cases ara
molested and maltreated 1t is absurd to
invite people they hate to participate in
their exhibition, and unless a change occurs
the absurdity will be reflected in the fate of
the exhibition
The Cologne Gazette publishes procla-
nation which it says the patriotic league
"a G frViftIr ri lafn m AIeaOa- 7
raine.
BoULANGER's PLAN
The Gazette again asserts that Gen. Bou.
langer before his deposition from the War
Ministry really intended coup d'etat, and
was only prevented from carrying out his
designs by Gen. Saussier.
No action has been taken in regard to the
release of Herr Koechlin, one of the con-
victed members of the French Patriotic
League, and neither side seems willing to
take the initiative in the matter.
The Cross Gazette says it would be inns
possible for Germany to proceed first in thd
matter, as that would in France be con-
sidered as an act of feebleness on her part.
KLEIN's TRIAL FOR TREASON.
In the trial of Herr Klein for treason, in
supplying the French with intelligence con-
cerning German fortresses, which com-
mences at Leipsic Monday, thirteen witt
nesses and four experts have been sub.
penaed The trial will be conducted in
public 10y special order of the government.
Evidence will be INTRODUCED TO prove that
Klein had been in receipt of monthly
salary of 200 marks from the French gov
ernment.
The relations between Germany and Rus.
sia are becoming incomprehensible. While
there is a seeming concord between the two
courts, a war of determination against
Russia This action on the part of Russia
results in intense bitterness against
that country in Berlin, where the
leading journals talk of reprisala
and self-defense. The first symp-
tom of this feeling has been an outcry
against Germans investing in Russian
stocks, the Cross Gazette and Cologne
Gazette arguing that government which
virtually expropriates foreigners will non
hesitate to defraud its creditors if war fur
nishes the necessary pretext.
STILL MORE ALARMING.
The semi official organ, the Post, is stin
more alarming. 1t says that in the event
of war with Germany which many infuen-
tial persons in Russia are striving to bring
about, a stroke of the pen would suffice to
deprive the Germans of all their sinews OF
war In the shape of the milliards they have
confided to the care of Russia. These
artlCleS, showing growing ulSJruSJ OF ftusSlas
have already had their effect in fall In tho
prices of Russian securities all round.
DRIVING OUT THE LAND OWNERS
The unceasing efforts of Prince Hohen-
lohe, Count Henckel and Herr Kramsta, the
largest German land owners in the Russian
provinces, to have themselves exempt from
the effects Of the Czar's ukase have failed OF
the desired result, the st. Petersburg gov-
ernment refusing to make any exception in
favor Of anybody, and therefore these land
owners, together with Prince Radziwill and
Prince Reuss, find themselves compelled to
sell their estates in Russia at virtual sacri-
flee.
